Just two of you have something to say about this? Theres like 35 people that have read this thread so far. Ok, I'll ask a question then...

For thoes of you with children or who plan on having children, are you willing to be up front and honest with your kids about your marijuana use? What do you plan on telling them, if so? If not, why...... and what if they find out anyway?

My daughter is 22 now but when she was very small I asked my wife if she thought our smoking or mj was wrong, she said no so I said that we shouldn't hide it. We did have a talk with her about people at school asking questions and we let her know that smoking mj was against the law but not wrong. Funny thing is she doesn't smoke mj but almost all of her friends do.

//EDIT// she does like the occasional pot cookie though

Wow, that's awesome!!! I don't have children, but I've always wondered how I'm going to go about explaining that to them. Maybe I'll buy the book hehe

 

[Lil 'o Me]

My husband and I were talking about this the other night. We agreed that we need a new piece of furnature, an armior or hope chest we can lock, to keep all of our smokey treats and instraments in. I dont want my son knowing any time soon. I would be too afraid he might tell his teacher, or one of the 3 cops that lives in my neiborhood. Hopefully it wont be a big deal in my state after a few more years though. We'll see....

Yea, I was about to mention, this isn't a first.

The author of "It's Just a Plant" went in front of the O'Reilly firing squad...

Very cool! That guy had some balls going onto the O'Reily Factor. He did very well I thought. Pissed me off when O'Riely tried to corner him where the lil girl said she wanted to grow some too..... and then wouldn't go further in the book to show the explanations from the Dr. and Mom.

We are setting up the future generations to have legalized cannabis. There will be a day when cannabis will be treated just like alcohol. I just hope it happens in my lifetime.

I will write them a children's marijuana book myself. Or be lazy and just use the ones mentioned in this thread
But, I will tell them the truth about it. It is, after all, "mommy's funny medicine," and they need to know why I need it.

 

[Lil 'o Me]

My husband and I are not in agreement on this subject right now. He wants to keep it from our son. I agree, but only for now. I think when he gets older, he should know. We'll just have to keep talking about this one I guess.

 

[BLUNToPOTomuss]

My wife and I have a year old son and daughter, and an year old daughters.

My year old step son knows we smoke pot. We sat him down and explained what it is and why we use it.

Now there is NOWAY i would even consider explaining this to my year old daughter. (crazy mom) and I dont thnk she is mature enough to keep the info to herself.

My and year old step daughter and daughter dont need to know yet if at all. I hve always been open with all of them I just think we as parents need to take into account multiple things when deciding what info to pass on to our kids.

It is still taboo regardless of legality, and with that I keep a very low profile with my kids.

I tell them we are going outside to "talk" when we need to medicate.

My mom and dad used the same verbage when I was young and I didnt relize what "Talking" was untill I was 25!!!

I thik it depends on the maturity and trust you have in your child to keep thir mouth shut.

 

[Lil 'o Me]

Question for you Blunto.... What would you say if one of them walked outside and caught you? What do you do then?

 

[ourcee]

too young for kids (reasonably speaking as of this moment, not too far off though) however I love em and everyone I know says I'm "amazing" with them.

weird for a stoner to hear.

however I FULLY plan on giving them all of the information they need to make their own mind up about things, including cannabis. I know I'm gonna be a toker for life and I honestly dont believe that its something to be ashamed of or hide. They are eventually gonna wonder what that glass tube daddy smokes out of is and theres no reason to sugarcoat or white lie.

 

[BLUNToPOTomuss]

Lil,

Who is it?

We smoke blunts and lite a sig (for smell) at the same time. If it was my 8 or 10 yr old Id just tell them to go inside because dad is smoking a cigar, and mom is enjoying a sig (YUCK).

If it were my 13 year od daughter, we would/will sit her down and explain the benifits of MMJ for me. We wold explain that it is 100% legal for me to use, and that regardless of what she hears I am NOT breaking the law. I would also let her know the possible consequences of her telling people my medical history and medication usage.

I would not lie or hide ANYTHING from her. Honesty (parents know when to stretch the truth) is the basis of our family dynamic and I would let her know that is why I am being totally honest with her and.......hope for the best!

Then I would gather up all my documentation on my ex wife, put together my case and and wait to be served with court papers.

I live in CA and in full compliance with prop215 and SB420. Id be a bit worried but not to much.

Ya know this reminds me of something that happened to one of my best friends in elementary school. See, His parents didn't tell him. Nor were there any sorts of books like that. Then a officer from the local dept. came in and was "educating" the kids on the harms of drugs.

Well turns out my friend had actually found a stash of his parents. And going by what the officer had told him, basically turned in his own parents. Thus they got in quite the load of trouble. IMHO, It might be best to... IF you have kids, Let them read some sort of book like this,
And possibly tell them the truth. I personally don't have kids so this is only my thoughts on the subject. But, kids are alot smarter than alot of ppl give them credit for.

Sometimes it's possibly better just to tell the truth and educate. Or atleast it would have certainly helped in my friends case.

Love it

Ordering tomorrow


Thanks and peace

My husband and I are not in agreement on this subject right now. He wants to keep it from our son. I agree, but only for now. I think when he gets older, he should know. We'll just have to keep talking about this one I guess.

I kinda agree with your husband.. Maybe because he's a man and we all have to back up our own! Ha just kidding... But I think if you have "the talk" with your son and sit him down and treat it like that he may get the wrong impression.. I think sitting a child down and explaining to them why you need to smoke is sometimes counter-productive.. The child can sometimes think it's a big deal because it was explained to them as if it were a big deal.. It's medicine right?? So I think it should be treated as so.. Afterall you wouldn't sit your son down and have "the talk" about taking some anti-biotics for the flu..

I think if it's treated as just another medicine, then it will be.. Maybe if the issue of medical marijuana is ever brought up by him at a later date you can casually mention it.. Maybe something like "well son I smoke marijuana sometimes for treatment of my...." You son will probabily just say "Really? Since when?" At that moment right there he would realise that marijuana is not a big deal to use medicinally and it's just one method of treatment for a variety of ailments... If he then asks, "why didn't you tell me"? Just explain your position.. Tell him that you didn't want to turn the issue into a big deal because it's just medicine..

I don't have kids... I'm 23 and I don't have them yet.. So I may not be giving the best advise here.. I can only say what I would have done if I were in your situation.. So what does everybody else think?? Sorry I got kinda off topic.. But I do think this fits into the theme.. The childrens book is basically an explination to children why mommy or daddy uses marijuana.. So in that sense I think this fits..

 

[Lil 'o Me]

Hey 79towncar. My son is no where near the age to start explaining these things to him, and I agree...... it shouldn't be made a big deal of, but on the other hand, anti-biotics arn't illegal like marijuana is. There very well might come a day when the topic comes up and when it does, I plan on being honest. I dont think we should lie to our kids, thats pretty much what it comes down to for me.
